    No turning back now, shame to have to write a T5 off in the process but it's going to a good cause... Can't even begin to imagine what this will sound like let alone go like

    Beleive me mate, that car was a shed, even the front suspension top spring plate was rusted through, all the suspension is knackered (all to be replaced) the only good thing (I hope) is the engine and box.

    Fair enough, tbh they're all getting beyond economical repair once you start talking anything more than a set of pads or a tyre so good to see it's going to good use

    Well, this car isn't going back on the road:

    Can't watch anymore

    It's really impressive how well built these cars really are, you wouldn't of thought that it was as bad condition as you've mentioned

    True there's RS model Fords that I've seen people invest time and money to put them back on the road that have started off worse than that... Lol

    well the interior looks ok from here.

    will you be turning the engine round on the subframe?
    could hook up rear steer easily enough be pretty trick
